and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Brown's Cocktails, on Dolphin Lane, shut its doors early during Saturday night to allow the medical crew to “work on the patient” who had collapsed on the dance floor.
Fortunately, the customer was able to be resuscitated and taken to hospital and a spokesperson for the venue has praised the “quick efforts of the door, team staff and medical crew who arrived promptly”.

"We understand the fristrations a few of you felt but what we cannot do is condone the behaviour that some customers decided to show,” the statement reads.
"We never take closing early lightly and would only do this when the situation demands it.”
The venue said it was working with the authorities and security and would be “reviewing our CCTV” to identify individuals involved “who will not be permitted to enter Brown’s Cocktails indefinitely”.
